Kara was diagnosed with food protein induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES) in August of 2010. She has had many FPIES reactions and complications that have lead to numerous hospitalizations and specialist appointments. It was a huge sigh of relief to finally have some answers and a diagnosis, however we have to remind ourselves daily that this is a very serious disease and this is only the beginning of the long road we have in front of us.

Balance

We've had a busy few weeks with appointments and decisions to be made, as well as Kara not feeling well again. I'm having a hard time balancing work and the never ending care of a child with health problems. I'm struggling with being fair and having the time to give to my curious, wanting to help with everything, sassy, almost four year old as I'm overwhelmed with life as it is. I'm struggling with the balance of getting everyday things done around my house as I have an almost two year old mommy's girl that just wants to be snuggled.

Thank goodness the sun is finally starting to shine and it's starting to warm up. I'm hoping that with spring hopefully finally here things will start looking up. I know we have a really busy and stressful next 4-6 weeks ahead of us with appointments but I'm hoping now that we are getting it all on the calendar we can go back to day to day life instead of not knowing what the future is going to bring. I HATE not being in control and need to get back to the balance of my life that I thrive on.
